Live from the chicken run

Live chicken cam: our hens, right now

The chicken cam shows our flock in the run every day: scratching, pecking and strutting about.

About the chicken cam

The chicken cam broadcasts live from the run every day from morning to evening. As dusk falls the hens take themselves into the coop. Then the picture rests until the next morning. Watching is free and needs no account.

Why we built this

A calm little corner of the internet where a click does something kind, in the real world.

• It's real. No simulation. Your click moves a motor and feeds an actual chicken.
• It's gentle. Daily limits and cooldowns keep the hens healthy and happy.
• It's open. Watching is free, no sign-up. The cam runs uncut, so you see what really happens in the run.

FAQ

Is the feeding real?

Yes. Each click goes to a feeder at the coop. A screw auger turns a little and drops real corn into the run.

Why is there a cooldown?

So the hens aren't overfed. Between handfuls the feeder pauses for a few seconds, and there's a sensible daily limit.

Do the hens go hungry when nobody clicks?

No. They get their regular feed and water anyway. The corn from your click is a treat on top.

Can I watch without feeding?

Always. The chicken cam is free and runs all day. Feeding is just the fun extra.
